Pimentel, 34, faces charges of second-degree larceny and interfering with a police officer.

The charges stem from a complaint filed last year by a New Fairfield resident who said he gave Pimentel more than $6,500 worth of exercise equipment, with the understanding it would be turned over to the police department.

Instead, Pimentel kept the equipment for himself, according to a state police investigator.

Pimentel has been free on a promise to appear in court since he was arrested in March.
